I've followed the Bleach manga for almost 400 chapters only because I've followed the Bleach manga for 400 chapters. And because it's something new every week, I'm familiar with the characters, I understand what's going on so far... etc. You know, not because I actually liked it. I'm one of those who thinks that the story should have ended with Rukia's rescue, or at least Inoue's rescue. It was when I read that Tite Kubo's gonna continue this for another decade that I went "ok... I see where you're going with this" and from that point on, Bleach is like an off-an-on thing for me. Well, it's not really about the length. It's that I don't feel that Bleach, or Tite Kubo himself is able to bringing anything new into the story, and anime as a whole anymore. It's endlessly repetitive, it became like Dragonball, and I'm sick of it.
In my most recent attempt to catch up with the story (for old time's sake) I see that Bleach is in yet another training arc. While I loved Inoue's fresher, more mature (ahem) look and an upgrade to her powers, Chad went for a training style pulled straight out of Dragonball. Pretty soon he's gonna train in 50Gs and eat ancient pills like it's protein powder and someone's gonna measure his power level using a scouter and scream IT'S OVER NINE THOU-
...And Ichigo went for a time-compression excuse for his next remarkable power-up.
